there is a lot of obama people. but my question is, if they lie to you about that, what else are they not telling us? instead of making a statement, you ask it in terms of a question and you use the rhetorical. this is how i grew up. i used to ask my mother, how far is that from the earth? she would look at me and say, how far do you think it is? this is why i'm crazy. [laughter] i never got an answer. or if it's going to cost you $20, who's going to pay for it? they're not listening to us. because we don't often know how to frame the questions for them that they have to pay attention. and quite wrinkly, we don't hold them accountable. in this book, all those questions, and in this book are those answers. i struggle with this. i wrote this three times when i was in the process of selling a company, but i had to get it right. what a great way to end this. because i want them to listen to you. i want them to genuinely, genuinely here you and i want you to be optimistic and hopeful again. i want you to walk out of this

meantime the bill president obama signs today may also boost the u.s. housing market because it is going to extend that $8,000 first-time home buyer tax credit past the end of this month now to june 30th. it also creates a $6500 credit for current homeowners to buy a new home if they've lived in their current home for at least five years and they get it passed through the senate and house this week. it is on the president's desk this morning. also the bill could allow some businesses to turn their losses into cash. this bill lets all businesses apply losses from either '08 or '09 to any five years before 2008 so they can get an irs refund on the taxes they have paid. two big exceptions however. first, no business that took the bailout rescue funds, t.a.r.p., the troubled asset relief program funds from the government, they're not eligible for the tax break. also, any refunds for taxes in the fifth year would be reduced by half. again, this is something businesses have really been angling for throughout the recession. this is a long time in coming for th
